Benefits of running slowly: Running at a slow pace has many benefits like it strengthens your heart and protects you from cold and cough. Experts believe that running slowly is more beneficial for the heart than running fast.
It not only improves heart function, but also reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and strengthens the immune system. Running at a slow pace increases the number of red blood cells in the body, which increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, which is beneficial for your health.
Dan Gordon, professor of cardiorespiratory exercise physiology at Anglia Ruskin University, says running at a slower pace has become more popular in recent years. This is great for people who are not suited for high intensity interval training.
A 2015 study of 5,000 people in Denmark over 12 years showed that light and moderate runners had the lowest death rates, while heavy runners and non-runners had the lowest death rates and were almost the same. Because jogging slows down the heart rate and strengthens the heart muscles.
Other benefits of running slowly:
Another advantage of slow running is that the body uses fat for fuel, whereas fast running burns carbohydrates. Fat metabolism is highly beneficial for health as it improves blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. In winter, when the risk of cold and cough increases, jogging strengthens the immune system, making your body capable of fighting diseases like cold and cough.
